Vulnerabilidade à inatividade física: validação de conteúdo dos marcadores para adultos

Abstract

Conflitos de interesse: nada a declarar.Resumo Objetivo: Objetivou-se validar o conteúdo dos marcadores de vulnerabilidade à inatividade física em adultos. Métodos: Estudo metodológico, fundamentado na Psicometria, que visa à elaboração das definições constitutivas e operacionais dos marcadores de vulnerabilidade à inatividade física em adultos e sua validação de conteúdo por especialistas. Os dados foram analisados mediante cálculo do Índice de Validade de Conteúdo (IVC) e Teste Binomial. Resultados: Participaram da validação 13 juízes, profissionais da área da saúde, pesquisadores com publicações sobre o tema, provenientes de sete Estados brasileiros (Ceará,

Vulnerability to physical inactivity: evidence of content validity and response processes

“…The construction of these evaluated items was based on theoretical reflection on issues of vulnerabilities and inequities in health and on the elucidation of the dimensionality and the constitutive elements of vulnerability to physical inactivity ( 12 ) . Such reflections were anchored in evidence from national and international studies, obtained through a scope review about intervening factors in physical inactivity, whose protocol is registered in an open platform ( 23 ) .…”

“…Faced with the complexity of interactions involving physical inactivity, it is necessary that, in addition to behavioral aspects, aspects of vulnerability also be considered, since it is recognized that certain unfavorable individual, environmental and social conditions, combined with the fragility in facing these difficulties, limit the choices of people and make them more susceptible to physical inactivity ( 12 ) .…”

“…The definition of the construct “Vulnerability to Physical Inactivity” and the elucidation of its dimensionality, constitutive elements, as well as constitutive and operational definitions of its markers were given through a literature review, critical reflection of the authors and evidence of validity of its content by specialists ( 12 ) . To define the behaviors and attitudes through which this construct is expressed, an item bank was created, based on psychometric criteria recommended by Pasquali ( 17 ) : relevance, precision, objectivity, simplicity, clarity, variety, modality, typicality, credibility , breadth and balance.…”

“…The vulnerability approach has been used to discover how the interaction between individual aspects and cultural and social dynamics can increase people’s susceptibility to harm, threats or dangers ( 10 ) . In this sense, vulnerability to physical inactivity is understood as a condition generated through the interaction between elements of multiple dynamic relationships of the subject in their social context, which produces greater precariousness and exposure to unfavorable factors of physical activity for health, without means of coping ( 12 ) .…”

“…The Subject Dimension of vulnerability to physical inactivity shows how much personal aspects can increase the chances of physical inactivity, understood here as the subject as a producer and as a product of the power relations existing in society. The Social Dimension reflects the understanding of physical inactivity based on the subject’s multiple collective and contextual elements ( 11 , 12 ) .…”
